To calculate: Amount of energy converted in one year and mass equivalent to that energy.
Answer to Problem 20.12APP
Amount of energy converted in one year is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The power plant converts approximately
Formula used:
Mass energy relation is given by,
where m is mass and c is speed of light in vacuum.
Calculation:
There are 31536000 seconds in a year.
Therefore, amount of energy converted in one year =
Mass equivalent to this energy is calculated as:
Conclusion:
Amount of energy converted in one year is
